Check this out. Its another sad thing that could happen to any of us. Derek was a cool dude. I know his mother and my nephue went to school with him. He did not deserve to be killed by cops. He was un armed and cops only found less than 1/2 lb of weed in his house. http://m.wftv.com/news/news/local/officials-man-shot-face-while-deputies-attempt-ser/nkNWP/
was he white or black? I'm so sorry for the loss. I'm sure his whole family is devastated. Every parent's nightmare. Thank god these thugs and idiots are held up as heroes and placed on a legal pedestal. We have a long history of glorifying police work. Look at the injured workers laws some time. In my state if a cop gets a hangnail at work and can't go chase after the big bad narcotics wolf, he sits home with his full pay WITHOUT REGULAR INCOME TAX BEING WITHHELD until a doctor clears him to go back to hero duty. And of course he needs to be in tip top shape for that. It's not just African Americans who are subject to police violence. Half a pound of pot? DEATH SENTENCE!!!! By Officer Fuzz, fresh off the academy block. :321fu:
No gun, no weapon, no shirt to conceal a weapon and cops trained on military style shoot-em up courses don't notice or seem to care. To them a buddy just got his tit in a wringer and they all feel bad for him and want to save a career. Too bad they don't feel that way about yet another dead nonviolent soul. getting even angrier still.
Hes a white guy so probably not much national coverage. I am fucking mad as hell. dam swat team is a fucking joke. Send in swat for pot? No weapons? They knew if they were doing their job what was in the house, kid didnt even have a record. They went past one guy in house and just shot him. Three or 4 people there and the cops even said they went there just for him. I dated his mom years ago. Shes probably a train reck. Will be interesting to see what pans out on this. If anything i hope his mom and dad gets a good lawyer and sues the piss out of the department. We the tax payers will have to pay but people will loose their jobs if so. Atleast people need to loose their jobs, one fucker needs to go to jail for either sec deg fel manslaughter or third deg fel manslaughter. Dont think he coulg get 1st deg, prob wont get shit but paid leave. Just unreal. I have been pissed all day when one of volusia co finest ran his mouth at a gas station about it. I wanted to tell him to shut his fucking mouth. Liers they are. If you do your cop job, ok. But kill a unarmed young man over pot that did not even put up a fight???....come on.
"Rise of the Warrior Cop" by Radley Balko. After reading this it will all make sense, but, you'll be even more pissed off.:bong-2: Economics and bad policy are to blame as much, if not more than, the individual LEO. Not that most cops aren't unmitigated dickheads in their own right, but they've been taught this shit. Their superiors allow this shit. Their cop buddies rally around this shit. :BangHead: [YOUTUBE]dh-yyhU0wJs[/YOUTUBE] To quite one of my least favorite Presidents; "America does not have a functioning democracy at this point in time," Jimmy Carter
I would love to, if you dont have money in this state, you pretty much are slum. Its nice but crime and dickheads everywhere. I think the west coast might be better but prob the same all over.
its answers like this that will not bring about the end of the Prohibition of Cannabis...running doesn't solve shit..... Thinking any one location is going to be magically better because its not where you were before, is not a solution, it's an excuse I will stay right here in Florida and change things....might take time, might not happen today, but I will stay and change things.... MAD MAX
I was refering to the west coast of Fl. Hopefully in 2016 we will get a better deal. I think the 2% loss last time woke the people who didnt vote up. It did cause alot of people to get register and get out and vote. I was very proud of alot of people for that. I put in alot of work also. I was thinking if i moved, it would be a longer drive to the cabbage patch to see the fat biker bitches wrestle :coolbounce:
but fuck Florida...11 family members came from Pittsburgh to various parts of florida in the early 80s when all the steel mills shut down here....11 of them left in the 2000's cuz of how the state and system made it impossible to make your life better by good old hard work. I just moved my dad up here from Jacksonville last week in fact. That state is POLICE state thru n thru....you cant drive a mile without seeing 5 Sheriffs and 2 local boys, fuck that!!! Ill stay right here where I don't see a cop for DAYS n DAYS and we all stay alive and well and never harassed just for being yourself
I actually like Florida but, would never live there. I'd catch a gun charge pronto for shooting some methhead douche trying to steal change out of my car or whatever.. So yeah, I hear ya Max. . But, fixing broken shit only takes that much longer. Life is too short for that nonsense.
you got to be upper management to make good/great cash here or work a trade. Or own the bussiness. Alot of old timers farm land down the middle of the state. You can scratch a living with pot but you run the risk of swat killing you. So much for the judge telling you what your punishment is. Cops here are still in the old south, thats for sure. It took me a few years to learn the Fl life but its nice if you know where to hang and you know who's who. I did have a meth head steal change from my car, no shit for real. It was our others guitarist girlfriend. :icon_confused: She sure had a nice set of tittys and a pretty mouth. Sue-eeeee
ya know whats really fucked up? Pittsburgh is the only other place I would rather live than Florida..... I lived there for a number of years...Funny that Pittsburghers would think Florida sucks I like both for the same reason..people are mostly friendly here.... Like I said you can find reasons to hate any place time and whatever finding reasons to change or support change is harder and takes more character... I have found that my experiences in any place is directly related to my attitude, you will get what you give...perfect example..I have a chopper I just started riding, I'm not sure how long the reserves last..well I ran out of gas LOL I am pushing my bike to the gas station when 2 guys stop and fill me up They wont accept any form of payment..just 2 cool dudes helping another dude.... as for your police comment..doesn't matter to me how many cops are out there..I don't do the kind stupid shit that gets you busted so again no worries for me.....its all part of the game I would rather have them out in the open where I can see what they are doing but your more than welcome to hate a place on 2 hand information and lack of your own personal experiences.... some of my worst interactions with hearing people occurred in Pittsburgh only difference in I'm not blaming the whole city for the actions of a few...just an example of how a limited scope can define a place....anyways best of luck I'll enjoy my sunshine while your shoveling snow and ride my bikes all year long MAD MAX
I am going to the beach tomorrow. Sunny and 84*. Mabe a few keys of coke or a few bails of weed will float up on the beach. Lol. One things tor sure, i will be high and alot of half naked drunk collage girls on spring break will be wanting to get their tits signed. :roffl::roffl: Come on down and hang out, i will loan you guys my spare boob signing markers. I have different colors. Just tell the girls you guys are the bass player and drummer, no one really looks at those guys, so you dont have to look like them. :thumbsup:
